As reported in FR, this also happened in Athens, Texas a few years ago.

The town's response was in effect was 'Come and Take It'.

The challengers never showed up.

I for just one Northeast TEXICAN applaud the people who stood up to the atheists.
I’d like to know what IDIOTS from WI come & stick their noses into the business of a TX community.

Fyi, I’m from a little “hick town”, population about 1500 (About 5,000 people live in the entire county.) & FOUR times since WWII the voters of our county have voted OVERWHELMINGLY to have a prayer at every student assembly & athletic contest at our ONE high school.
(Btw, our ISD has gone out of its way to ASSURE that EVERY religion in the county has prayers said at student activities, according to their faith’s traditions each year.)

Nonetheless, an ANTI-religion man from Joplin, MO went to federal court & got at restraining order against the desires of OUR people. - He’s NEVER been in the county in his life, so WHY is it any of his business what our voters decide is BEST for OUR people??
(Fyi, I’m SICK TO DEATH of busybodies, self-important fools & every sort of person, who just cannot seem to let everyone alone to live their lives UNMOLESTED.)

The bullies get their response. I hope the video cameras are installed with those lights.

Some outfit from wisconsin is also trying to get people on the boards of rural electric coops across the country to promote the green agenda.

Lived there.

The age old adage still exists. “If the federal government or it’s agents attempt to relieve us of of our weapons, they will be met with a high velocity response.”

Those folks don’t play. Promise.

It’s refreshing to see a government that doesn’t just roll over for these clowns. If you find the sight of a cross that offensive, go live in Russia.

I am approaching the mindset that sending these folks home on a rail might be the correct response.

Try to utterly destroy the very basis of our freedoms and civilization, you no longer live with us...

I don’t have enough faith in random chance to be an atheist.

By definition, order CANNOT arise from disorder. Entropy is the ONLY law that is utterly merciless and without exception.

NOT any difference that I can see. = HATERS, busy-bodies & “do-gooders” are EVERYWHERE these days.

Personally, I’d like to punch the MO busybody right square in his BIG/OPEN mouth.

Exactly correct. Atheism is trying to establish itself as the defacto state religion.
